Her Three Lives

Starts off with quite literally a bang (or a thwack!) and the tension keeps building from there. Holahan excells at story telling from multiple POV here such that you don't know if what you are reading is real or a fabrication pieced together by a physically traumatized and deeply paranoid man. I rooted for Jade from page 1, who constantly endures being the subject of suspicion and has her motives cruelly questioned all because she doesn't seem to fit some aesthetic dreamed up by Greg's terrible children. Without giving too much away, I couldn't put it down and raced through the many secrets, lies, delusions, and revenge plots to reach a very satisfying ending. Great read! I've been enjoying Holahan's books for years now and can't wait to read what new twist she has in store for the lies and betrayal loving, suspense seeking crowd.

I saw this book advertised on goodreads and decided to order it. I loved it! It is the first book that I’ve read by Cate Holahan and I enjoyed it very much. It starts off with the home invasion and continues to build the suspense as to who was behind the attack. It has a logical and satisfying conclusion.

Just started started reading it and realized it was not worth reading and returned it.

Greg is divorcing his wife of 25 years. He's marrying Jade whom he's only known for six months. She's two decades younger than he. His kids don't like it one bit! Greg's daughter is nasty & rude to Jade. She fills her father's head with all sorts of nonsense & accusations. His son wants her out of the picture.

Very Good
